In 3 years I dont think Ive ever hears NBSR RTC call a train by number? Its almost always "Work Extra 6304 West" with East replacing west and the 6304 being replaced with the lead unit number. Occasionally I've head one without an "extra" dont know if thats just an individual dispatchers thing or if some trains are scheduled.

Right now, there seems to be an east or a west, which means a train to or from Oakfield everyday. But with no schedule or consiistency. As was said, it really all depends. The upside is that you can count on something moving everyday.
